[pclasses-devel] classloading from DLLs demonstrated

[stephan b. <st...@s1...>]

File: test/FactoryTest.cpp

Loads an interface type (TheBase) from FactoryTest.h. The interface is 
implemented in 3 types defined in CType.cpp, which we compile to 
CType.so.

We open CType.so:

	typedef P::Plugin::PluginManager<TheBase> PM;
	PM & pm = PM::instance();
	::P::System::SharedLib * sh = pm.addPlugin( "CType" );
	// ^^^ throws on error

The try-to-find-a-DLL-when-class-not-found behaviour should be 
transparently hidden behind the PM interface, but it is not yet. That's 
on my TODO list.

test/CType.cpp demonstrates classloader registration and the 
customize-registration-via-static-init technique.

If you're using the toc tree the test will build as-is, if not you'll 
need to add the appropriate code to Makefile.am.
